The closing sewing is the most basic sewing used in car upholstery to attach two pieces together by using a sewing machine.
The general upholstery starts out from this sewing. We could consider the other well known sewings and trims as additionals. I am referring to the oversewing, double stitches, piping and hems.
I have realized some car seat covers only use this basic sewing to attach the whole pieces.
In this video I show what is advisable to get a tight and not so loose sewing to close or attach two pieces together. I mean vinyl or leather.
Is it possible the use of just one needle for the closing sewing and the other sewings and trims?
Yes, if we use a medium size needle ( 130=21 or 140=22), the same thread 92 size and stitches from 3 to 4 mm long.
By using this way we would get acceptable sewing and the job would be faster because we would not be changing needles several times.
Thicker needles and threads can also be used if necessary to attach hard materials and we want sturdier sewings too. Let's say canvas outdoors or leather for heavy duty applications, etc.
I hope you find this information useful!
